I will be there again, I have class till 315 ish so I will head home throw the racing tires/rims on and head over. Hopefully the slow *** cars will give me lane choice. If not time to talk to them about track etiquette.

apparently the throttle of the car "bravos toy" got stuck open in the pits after making a pass, and he blew threw the guard rail and hit several cars including a saleen mustang a civic hatch, 3 ls1 camaros and a silverado ss. it looked like only two people got hit. a son and his mom. im not sure about all the details but it was a very scary thing to see and luckily nobody was killed. the car eventually got stuck still revving in between the silverado ss and a pewter z28.

That was close for me. My camaro was in front of that saleen. He hit a total of 6 cars in the pit plus his own trailer and truck. Hope he has good insurance. My friend that works at the track said that saleen was a total loss

Thats crazy! I wonder why the guy didnt kill the ignition as soon as he could. Reminds me of when a kid nailed the gas with the wheels turned and ran into Luke's Camaro in the staging lanes almost squashing me between our cars.

Saleen was bad but they drove it off. 2 of the camaros are a total loss without a doubt. 1 red 1 pewter. Also alot of racecars don't carry insurance hopefully this guy did. And when u sign the waiver it releases the track of ALL responsibility. I guess the guy owns a body shop so
..it should be worked out.
